dk...please take another look at what i said a few post back:
I just find it hard to equate an ugly temporary inconvenience (having your card spray painted)...and I will add here: or a black person hating a white person... with race based sentencing disparities in the criminal justice system...or race based lending disparities... or race based disparities in standardized college admission testing....that have a far more lasting impact.

cyn...even though you acknowledged that the two circumstances I described above are not equal in their impact, you still felt a need to characterize my interpretation of racism as "diarrhea" and carrying "all that baggage."
So yes, dk and cyn, we have a different working definition of racism and I will leave it at that.
